BikerScout007 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Put EVA foam in the KW Design boxes to fill them and put Chicago screws in the foam to secure it to the belt. I've ordered replacement boxes from Bone Buddrus but using these for now. Next will be painting the boxes and fixing up the Velcro on the belt!Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been getting a lot of rain for a part of the world where it almost never rains! So what I did was attach the foam inserts to the belt without gluing them to the plastic boxes yet. That way I can pop off the boxes and paint them the second it stops raining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 It stopped raining long enough that I got to paint the boxes. Today was all about that belt!Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 About 90% of the way. Still need to attach the ammo pouch to the ab armor and the shotgun shells and smaller pouch to the hip armor. And then everything needs to be weathered.

ScaryGuy Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looking good Chief! This costume really comes alive with the weathering. Without it you look like a giant toy 😀. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a bunch of things I want to adjust (gotta keep my greaves from turning when I walk, I need to adjust the hip armor, etc), but I'm happy with the progress so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I added snaps to the interior of the ab armor and to the straps of the ammo pouch. Once I'm 100% satisfied with the placement I'm going to remove the excess strapping. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @ScaryGuy or @TK8271 Rogue Trooper --- I assume this is a view of the right side of the trooper, just above the hip plate. What is that black webbing for?

The black webbing is not part of the costume, it was used to strap the mannequin to the stand behind it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Finishing up the small stuff. I glued on the shotgun shells with E6000 and riveted the leather pouch to the other side.

BikerScout007 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Weathering the armor. I scraped up the edges of everything with a paint scraper. Sanded some of the scrapes to blend them. And black washed everything. The camera really isn't showing how dirty this really is!Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 For the pants I used my favorite weathering tools for my Fallout costumes: Otter Wax and baby powder. I also scratched up the boots and dusted them with even more baby powder. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 A Pathfinder's work is never done! Here's my Anovos bucket I just received in the mail. Despite being the most screen accurate as far as shape goes, the paint color is not quite right and will need to be repainted with good old Sahara Beige.

BikerScout007 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I noticed I was getting the shin spins whenever I'd walk around with them on. To counteract this, I glued some neoprene patches inside the shins. The next day when I wore them at a convention, they stayed in position. And that was after a lot of walking!Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I picked up these ageing sprays from a movie production supply store near my home. Probably the closest thing one can get to Dirty Down in the US. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
